Suicide Tennis - Shangai​



1. Each day of play you must pick 1 winner playing an ATP main draw singles match. Of course, the player that you choose, is playing one match scheduled to be played that day (as seen on the order of play).

2. Once you pick someone, you cannot choose them again for the rest of the tournament. So, you don't want to waste your pick on Roddick or Federer to win in early round matches.

3. You must choose one player to win each day. If you forget, are sick, or are unable to reach a computer, it will be treated as a wrong pick, and you will be out of the tournament. You have to submit your own pick, no one else can submit your pick for you.

4. Only in the case of a walkover or a withdrawal of your main pick, each player is allowed to have a back-up pick, selected at the same time as their initial pick. That back-up pick will only be used in the occurance of a walkover or withdrawal, as stated above. Retirements do count as completed matches.

Replacement picks must be identitified like this:
Back-Up Pick - Andy Roddick
Make it clear and try to do it all in one post

NOTE: You can't pick a player from a match scheduled for the previous day and postponed for the next due to rain or darkness! Choose only from the matches posted in the OOP for the concrete day posted here

5. If you wish to participate, just write the word IN in this thread or just post your Day 1 pick in the correct time. New players are ALWAYS welcome!

6. Once the order of play with be released, it will be added IN THIS THREAD, right below, to facilitate your choices. Each day, this post will be updated with its respective order of play.
NOTE: You can't pick a player from a match scheduled for the previous day and postponed for the next due to rain or darkness! Choose only from the matches posted in the OOP here for the concrete day!

7. Picks will be aceptable until before the start of the FIRST match each day

8. The scoring system will be as follows:


9. This thread is not made to complain about format, points, etc. PMs work very well :)

If the board goes down as it happened before send your picks on my e-mail: pelabed@hotmail.com

Also, players 17 through 21 will be alternates and will make a day 1 pick incase some people dont make picks who are in the top 16.
All players who want can make picks and can wait as Alternates. Although i dont think more than 2 or 3 alternates will get playing.

Re: Suicide Tennis Masters Shangai (Top 16 Qualify only)

We discussed this back in September about how it was going to be in the managers thread. Why did it change?
We didnt get to a conclusion and since I was the manager and thought this was the best method i applied it. But if none like it, ill just change it. Although the other system is absolutely crap.

Re: Suicide Tennis Masters Shangai (Top 16 Qualify only)

and if there are two players who doesnt win matches in the whole tournament? (high possibilities) There are no chances for a winner.
That's exactly why there would be no one to reach the last day with your system :shrug:

I liked Björki's compromise :)
